Philosophy

The students will be provided age appropriate stroke and strategy instruction in a fun and challenging environment with drills and games. Students will generally be placed in their respective age groups, however, we will be flexible to move students according to their experience levels when necessary.

Equipment

Michele will have a limited supply of “Racquet Packages” available for purchase which include a racquet and Wilson item ( such as a wristband) for $20. The racquets are different lengths for the various ages and sizes of the kids.

A basket of tennis balls will be available for free use at the courts. Please be sure to pick up all the balls and secure the lid prior to your departure from the courts so the balls will not get wet or get in the way of other patrons.

The kids are asked to bring a racquet to class, t-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes. Please no flip flops.
